Chapter 335 The Case Reaches a Deadlock

On the way, He Xin asked, "Are you going to confirm Lu Qiucheng's story? See if Ma Yilong lied?"

Chen Yidao: "Not only that, if Ma Yilong lied, don't you think there is a high possibility that he is related to this case?"

Ji Xin thought for a moment and his eyes became solemn: "Making up lies and using the mute girl to achieve the purpose of killing?"

Chen Yi: "We can talk about this issue after asking it clearly."

As soon as you start to have doubts, you have to investigate. Even if you are wrong, it is a gain, and you have eliminated a possibility.

Investigating a case means locking in the only truth through countless trials and errors.

Zhongda Technology arrived, and Chen Yi went directly to the eighth floor.

Seeing Chen Yi returning, Shan Honghai was surprised: "Chen Yi, why are you back again? Do you have any questions? Just make a phone call and I'll ask for you."

Chen Yi: "Uncle Shan, please call Lu Qiucheng's boss Yang Ting over, as well as Ma Yilong's immediate superiors, including Ma Yilong's department colleagues, just call over a few of them. If you need to know something from them."

Shan Honghai didn't ask any more questions and picked up the phone after agreeing.

"Yang Ting is also Ma Yilong's boss. Ma Yilong and Lu Qiucheng are in the same department." He explained.

Chen Yi nodded.

Soon, four people came to the office and everyone sat down.

Chen Yi first looked at Yang Ting: "Manager Yang, let me be more direct. Are there any conflicts between Ma Yilong and Lu Qiucheng?"

"Conflict?" Yang Ting hesitated, "No, I think they have a good relationship. They are fellow villagers and friends. I haven't heard of any conflicts."

Chen Yi: "Is there any conflict of interest?"

Yang Ting: "That's true. Ma Yilong and Lu Qiucheng are both directors of our operations department. Ma Yilong is an old man in the company. He has good abilities and good results. He was originally going to be promoted to marketing manager."

"Lu Qiucheng is a latecomer. Top students are more capable and he is so young. The company finally decided to focus on training young cadres. Is this considered a conflict of interest?"

Because of Chen Yi's identity, he answered questions very actively, without hiding anything and saying everything he could think of.

Ma Yilong's suspicions continue to increase.

Chen Yi: "That is to say...if there is no Lu Qiucheng, the next manager will be Ma Yilong?"

Yang Ting glanced at Shan Honghai secretly, nodded and said: "It can be said that apart from Lu Qiucheng, Ma Yilong is the most qualified."

Chen Yi: "Is Lu Qiucheng currently absent from work?"

Yang Ting: "Yes, absent from work, the leave date has passed, and I haven't seen anyone for several days."

Chen Yi: "If he can no longer appear in the company, will the marketing manager be Ma Yilong?"

Yang Ting: "Yes."

When Chen Yi and Shi Xin met each other, the case became clearer.

Although supervisors and managers are both middle-level, there is still a big difference. It is entirely possible for a manager in his thirties to reach out to senior management and enter the core circle of Zhongda Technology in the future.

The future is limitless.

Ma Yilong could have soared into the sky, but was suddenly cut off by Lu Qiucheng. The psychological journey can be imagined. If you give him a chance, he can definitely do something to make Lu Qiucheng disappear.

Chen Yi continued to ask several of Ma Yilong's colleagues, focusing on the true relationship between Ma Yilong and Lu Qiucheng.

It's a pity that colleagues don't know each other well. Everyone said that the relationship between the two is good, at least they have never seen them quarreling in the company.

What happens in private, I don't know.

"Take the people back first."

Chen Yi decisively issued the order. There is currently no evidence to prove that Ma Yilong instigated the murder, but various clues point to him as the greatest suspect. He can be brought back to the city bureau for interrogation based on the existence of a motive.

When Xin stood up: "Okay."

Everyone left, leaving only Chen Yi and Shan Honghai in the office.

Shan Honghai poured a glass of water for Chen Yi. He understood. He didn't know what Chen Yi had found. Anyway, he had begun to suspect that Lu Qiucheng's death was related to Ma Yilong.

"Thank you, Uncle Shan." Chen Yi took the tea cup and took a sip.

Shan Honghai sat down and said, "Competition killing, do you have any evidence now?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "No, keep checking. It may not really be him."

Ma Yilong's suspicion is indeed high at present, but experience tells Chen Yi that no one will know who the real murderer is until the end.

Shan Honghai smiled: "It's not easy to be a detective, right?"

Chen Yi: "For me, it's not easy to do business. I have to specialize in the art industry."

Shan Honghai nodded: "That's true, you are the one who eats this bowl of rice, Yangcheng's detachment leader... you have the final say in the entire criminal case in Yangcheng, and I have to find you if anything goes wrong. It must be a lot of pressure. "

Chen Yi: "That's right, it's a lot of pressure."

"Uncle Shan, look for a new department manager in advance. I personally think... it should be Ma Yilong."

Shan Honghai didn't care: "Okay, there is no shortage of talents like Ma Yilong these days, but Lu Qiucheng is really a pity."

There are many talents but few geniuses.

Lu Qiucheng was a genius and worked very hard. He deserved his success, but he was killed instead.

Chen Yi stood up: "There is no way, no one wants to see this happen. I will leave Uncle Shan first, and we will meet again later."

Shan Honghai: "Okay."

He sent Chen Yi out of the office and then continued his work.

As a general manager, he has a heavy burden. The murder case has nothing to do with him. He just needs to recruit two outstanding employees without it. It's not a big problem.

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is to prevent the people below from being affected by this incident.

Ma Yilong was taken into the car, and the company employees were discussing. The director personally came out to explain the matter, and asked everyone to stop thinking and work seriously.

As the vehicle was driving on the road, Ma Yilong was a little agitated and kept asking why he was being arrested. The police officer next to him just said that a routine investigation was not an arrest, and nothing more happened.

This made Ma Yilong very helpless, unable to resist, and could only wait for subsequent developments.

Arriving at the city bureau, Ma Yilong entered the interrogation room.

The results of the paternity test have not yet come out. During this period, Chen Yi obtained the basic information of Ma Yilong. He graduated with an ordinary undergraduate degree and was married with children. His father was a retired village cadre of Donghua Village.

Half an hour later, after it was confirmed that Zhai Yiling was the biological daughter of the mute girl, Ma Yilong's preliminary trial began immediately.

Ma Yilong's mobile phone and call records are being investigated by Shi Xin.

"Captain Chen, what on earth do you mean? Why are you arresting me?"

Ma Yilong had a puzzled look on his face, and he didn't dare to go too far out of consideration for Chen Yi's status.

Chen Yi: "Did you tell Zhai Yiling that Lu Qiucheng was plotting against Zhai Yiling?"

Ma Yilong admitted openly: "Yes, I told her."

Chen Yi: "How did you know that he was plotting against Zhai Yiling?"

Ma Yilong replied: "Lu Qiucheng told me personally. He drank too much when we were drinking before and told me how good Zhai Yiling is. Her figure and face are much better than those of a mute. He should look for opportunities to turn her into his girlfriend."

"Isn't this an evil plot? A person with a human face and a beast's heart is really not a thing."

It was impossible to judge the truth from a single statement, so Chen Yi continued to ask: "Have you told the mute?"

Ma Yilong: "That's not true. I just reminded Zhai Yiling to stay away from Lu Qiucheng."

Chen Yi: "According to our investigation, Lu Qiucheng will be promoted to the manager of the marketing department soon, and this position should have been yours, right?"

Ma Yilong nodded subconsciously. Just as he was about to speak, a stunned expression appeared.

He understood.

"You doubt me……"

Nothing follows.

Chen Yi stared at Ma Yilong: "What do you doubt about you?"

He did not tell the other party that Lu Qiucheng was missing, let alone that Lu Qiucheng was dead.

Ma Yilong: "It's nothing. The company's mid-level personnel appointments are all discussed at meetings. Since Lu Qiucheng is more suitable, of course the person with the ability will take the position. I am happy for him."

Chen Yi basically confirmed that Ma Yilong was a suspect or an insider in this case, and said: "The police have intervened, why don't you ask Lu Qiucheng what happened?"

Ma Yilong: "I wanted to ask, but I never asked, what happened to him... what happened to him?"

Chen Yi didn't answer. At this moment, Ji Xin walked in, handed Chen Yi the call record in his hand, and bent down to whisper something.

After listening to what He Xin said, Chen Yi glanced at the call record in his hand and then raised his head: "What did you say in the last phone call with Lu Qiucheng a month ago?"

The time of the call was on the same day as the time when Chai Wenfang passed through Donghua Village, which meant that Lu Qiucheng was killed that night just after they finished talking on the phone.

Ma Yilong said: "That was the call he made to me, asking about the company, and then we chatted for a while."

Chen Yi decided to detain Ma Yilong for 24 hours.

This case may be easy to say or difficult to say. The key point is not Ma Yilong but the mute woman.

As long as the mute girl "answers" the questions truthfully, everything will be easy.

Find a way to get her to "speak".

Chen Yi came to the detention room again and met the mute girl.

The mute girl has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and her life in the detention room is much better than her life in the village.

A clean bed, delicious meals, just a loss of freedom.

For a mute woman, freedom is actually nothing to pursue.

Chen Yi considered asking Zhai Yiling to meet the mute girl and let the mute girl "tell" the truth through Zhai Yiling, but Zhai Yiling may not cooperate, and the other party now believes that Lu Qiucheng is up to no good.

Moreover... it is not necessarily a good thing for mother and daughter to recognize each other. This may very well ruin Zhai Yiling's life, so she needs to be cautious.

Let’s take a look at the situation first.

"Did Ma Yilong ask you to kill Lu Qiucheng?"

Chen Yi asked this sentence. He and the mute girl don't have to deal with all the nonsense. She won't understand either. It's best to be simple and direct.

The mute girl lowered her head and hugged her legs, not responding.

Chen Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say that Lu Qiucheng might not have any bad thoughts about Zhai Yiling, but he didn't say it in the end.

It would be fine if the mute girl were a normal person, we could talk to each other, but unfortunately not.

There is no absolute evidence for this matter yet. No one knows whether Ma Yilong said anything to the mute girl or whether he lied.

He changed the question: "Did Ma Yilong say anything to you? About Lu Qiucheng."

The mute woman began to resist and kept shaking her head.

Chen Yi suspected that the mute woman had been brainwashed. If Ma Yilong really instigated the murder, he would have considered the possibility of the mute woman being interrogated by the police.

When the time comes, all she has to do is shake her head, and the police can't do anything to her anyway.

He cannot speak, his IQ is questionable, and he cannot be interrogated at all.

If the mute woman refused to "answer" all questions from beginning to end, this would be a perfect crime.

Chen Yi left the detention room and had no idea how to investigate him next. The mute girl's IQ was really terrible, but she was the key to this case.

Arriving at the case handling hall, everyone looked over and waited for the captain's next order.

Chen Yi stood there and rubbed his brows, and didn't speak for a long time.

Everyone understands that the case should have reached a deadlock.
